So what you’re going to do is basically the + and - in each top hand corner is the charge of compound, so for example Li has a charge of +1 while Br has a charge of -1 , to write the formula you need to get the charges to cancel out ( equal zero) so luckily this was easy because -1 +1 =0 ! So it would be LiBr. Though for another example Al has a charge of 3+ while br has a charge of -1 and these do not equal zero, so as a result you have to add more br making the Formula AlBr3! Hope this helps!

Explain how the relative atomic mass and the mass number of elements are different and hence why some elements have relative ato

padilas [110]

This is because the relative atomic mass is the sum of the no of protons and neutrons while the atomic no is of the former only. it is not a whole number it is th average weighted masses of the various isotopes of the element multiplied by their corresponding relative abundance. pls thank me and mark me briniest

Match the following with their correct molecular weight. 2-butanone Propyl acetate 4-methyl-2-pentanone Butyl acetate Methanol E

Hatshy [7]

Answer:

2-butanone = 72.11 g/mol (option F)

Propyl acetate = 102.13 g/mol (option C)

4-methyl-2-pentanone = 100.16 g/mol (option D)

Butyl acetate = 116.16 g/mol (option B)

Methanol = 32.04 g/mol (option E)

Ethanol = 46.07 g/mol (option A)

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Molar mass of C = 12.01 g/mol

Molar mass of H = 1.01 g/mol

Molar mass of O = 16.00 g/mol

Step 2:

2-butanone = C4H8O

⇒ 4*12.01 + 8*1.01 + 16.00 = 72.11 g/mol (option F)

Propyl acetate = C5H10O2

⇒ 5*12.01 + 10*1.01 + 2*16.00 = 102.13 g/mol (option C)

4-methyl-2-pentanone = C6H12O

⇒ 6*12.01 + 12*1.01 + 16.00 = 100.16 g/mol (option D)

Butyl acetate = C6H12O2

⇒ 6*12.01 + 12*1.01 + 2*16.00 = 116.16 g/mol (option B)

Methanol = CH3OH = CH4O

⇒ 12.01 + 4*1.01 + 16.00 = 32.04 g/mol (option E)

Ethanol = C2H5OH = C2H6O

⇒ 2*12.01 + 6*1.01 + 16.00 = 46.07 g/mol (option A)

An element with atomic number 18 is a noble gas.Into which family you shall place elements with atomic number 17 and 19 and why?

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

An element with atomic number 18 is a noble gas.

The element with atomic number 19 will have one extra electron so it can donate one electron or shed one electron to attain noble gas configuration .

It tends to shed one electron to become positively charged ion . Hence they are electro-positive elements .

Similarly the element with atomic number 17 will have one short electron so it can gain one electron to attain noble gas configuration .

They tend to gain one electron to become negatively charged ion . Hence they are electro-negative elements . They have high electronegativity .
